Dinner and a movie dates are just so cliche, don’t you agree? Florida is an exciting place with tons of fun things to do, so there’s no reason why our dates can’t be fun, too. Feel free to steal one of these ideas the next time you need to impress a special someone.
1. Ride off into the sunset on a romantic horseback ride.
For bonus points, there are places like Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island where you can ride on the beach. Could anything be more romantic?
2. Stroll through a tropical paradise at one of our many gardens.
Getting out in nature will melt your stress away and help you have a more fun and relaxed date. If you're interested in trying out this idea, check out our list of the

3. Try a romantic hot air balloon ride.
You probably don't realize how beautiful our state is until you've seen it from the sky. This is a little pricey but would definitely make an unforgettable date. Some services even offer in-flight champagne.
4. Unwind on a vineyard or winery tour.

8. Indulge your creative side with an Artwalk.
Monthly Artwalks have been popping up in cities all over Florida lately. These offer a fun and informal environment to check out some local artwork and get your drink on. Pictured is the Jacksonville Art Walk, which has become quite popular.
9. Check out one of our many cool museums.
Museums don't have to be stuffy or boring, and most of ours in Florida are really fun. Pictured here is the Pirate & Treasure Museum in St. Augustine.
10. Find a local Oktoberfest celebration.
Pictured here is Dunedin Brewery's Oktoberfest, but there are sure to be Oktoberfests all over Florida in the coming weeks. Making sure your date appreciates beer as much as you do first is probably a good call.
11. Explore a local farmer's market or arts market.
Pick out some fresh food to cook for your sweetheart that evening. You can easily find out what kinds of things they like as you shop together. Pictured is the Winter Park Farmers Market.
12. Get lost together in a corn maze.
Corn mazes have way more these days than just fields of corn. Most of them offer fun games and activities that would be perfect for a casual fall date. Pictured is the Long & Scott Farms Corn Maze Adventure near Mount Dora.
